The technical merits of a gramophone-shaped passive amplifier are certainly up for debate. But those looking for a stylish way to dock/charge their iPhones (without spending hundreds on an adequately-designed speaker dock) could do worse than Ozaki's iSuppli Gramo.

Available in white, red or black, the stand keeps iPhones upright so that they're just a fingerswipe away. $70. [AudioCubes via Cool Material]
